Doesn't quite get it

Grandpa Bob, Claire, and Mary Grace are playing hide and seek. Mary Grace is supposed to hide, and Grandpa and Claire are going to find her.

I help MG hide under a blanket behind the chair in the toy room, but she won't cover up her face. She's sitting there grinning while Grandpa pretends to look for her. "Is she under the animals? No. Is she in the basket? No..."

"I think I'm right here!" she says.

Grandpa and Claire are hiding in the recliner under a blanket. MG finds them and says, "Grandpa, that is not a place for hiding, it is a place for sitting."
